What connects a 24-year-old Aditi Mukherjee, grieving father and a ancient India sage?

Aditi Mukherjee has discovered that deep meditation allows her to transfer her soul into any nearby person for a limited time. With her friends Nura and Cyrus, she uses this power to fight crime — but every use forces her to confront the moral weight of inhabiting someone else's life.

Robin Pinto survives a car crash that kills his entire family. Except "survive" isn't the right word — he wakes up in a stranger's body, watching his own corpse being pulled from the wreck. Days later, he realizes the crash was deliberate. Now he must find the killer while being cursed to drift endlessly from body to body, with no home to return to.

And millennia before them both, Shri Adi Shankaracharya quietly learned to do what they can do.

What connects a young woman in modern India, a murdered man in Mumbai, and one of history's greatest spiritual philosophers? Rise of the Soul-Transferors is a genre-defying novel of crime, spirituality, ethics, and the ancient question of what the self truly is.
